6:01 pm
independence. i am optimistic we can win the country back. >> if we are freedom, limited government, balanced budget and they speak out against generational theft to me those are winning issues. it seems to be reluctance in charging and making that case. why the reluctance among them? >> i think there's a sense of unhappiness and a sense of some people of despair there's a sense of decline. i think the president has helped create that sense of decline. they said there have been worse times our job is to teach, to remind people about their best instincts. we have been there before we can get back there again.

governors. we have wonderful people. we have great folks these guys can't make the case nobody can make the case. i am optimistic about that. i think the times suggest we knees theed contrasts. they are going to help us make the contrasts because they are going to push it to the left. >> i have no choice but to be optimistic. >> operational optimism. i want the republican party to fight. i don't want to see capitulation any more. tired of it. >> don't be too catholic be optimistic. >> too much original sin. >> pray the roser ry and go to work in the morning. you know about it. >> you heard about the bridge to nowhere. how about the covered bridge to
6:05 pm
nowhere. the sidewalk believe it or not to nowhere your tax dollars are going nowhere fast. it has been called the war on coal but we will show you the real impact on the nightmare that is literally strangling the industry and hurting families all around the country that and much more as "hannity" continues. let's give thanks - for an idea. a grand idea called america. the idea that if you work hard, if you have a dream, if you work with your neighbors... you can do most anything. this led to other ideas like lerty and rock 'n' roll. to free markets, free enterprise, and free refills. it put a man on the moon and a phone in your pocket. our country's gone through a lot over the centuries and a half. but this idea isn't fragile.
6:06 pm
when times get tough, it rallies us as one. every day, more people believe in the american idea and when they do, the dream comes true. we're grateful to be a part of it. ♪ ooh baby, can i do for you today? ♪ [ female announcer ] need help keeping your digestive balance? align can help. nly align has bifantis, a patented probiotic that naturally helps maintain your digestive balance. try align to help retain a balanced digestive system. try the #1 gastroenterologist recommended probiotic. align.

6:08 pm
>> he is not happy with what he sees. his lathes book detailed over 100 examples of waist of the government spending from coast to coast>> the safe routes to school program they began a 2.5 mile sidewalk. they didn't have the right-of-way approvals to complete the most important part. that's the part that went near
6:09 pm
schools or neighborhood. >> they are going through the section that we thought were the primary reason for the grant money to be given to the community in the first place. >> the result is what some are calling the sidewalk to nowhere. it runs along the highway in an industrial area with few if any pedestrians. >> critics say it's not a purpose on the sidewalk because it's not really going anywhere. there will be a substantial foot traffic. >> there is no school ground here. i can't figure out why a school child would be walking on this road. >> so much for providing a safe walk to school. >> it doesn't make sense to go past the school to get to the sidewalk. >> now the counsel ta planned to ask the feds for more 300,000 to try to obtain the right-of-way and complete the projects. they are not interested in giving up a piece of their
6:10 pm
property for the ill conceived project. >> the times we are out here i have yet to see anybody really walking on it and i don't get the sense from the gifford residence that people are inclined to. >> he snapped a picture of sidewalk ramps to nowhere. officials told them they had to put in the 10,000 dollar ramps even though there's no sidewalk. why? to qualify for federal highway funds. i hope nobody in a wheelchair actually tries to use this ramp since it would lead them right into a telephone pole. ohio more than half a million of your tax payer dollars found their way to this rural area courtesy of the u.s. department of transportation. the grant is going to repair a bridge. not this one. that actually gets used by people in vehicles. this one right next to them the bridge cost 650,000 dollars to restore even though it is not a
6:11 pm
path to the road or park or anything else. the bridge had been used since 2003 when it was moved to make room for a 650,000 dollar modern bridge. repairs will cost more than the town's total annual road budget of 600,000 dollars. but it's okay because it's mostly being paid for by you. oklahoma the lake murray state park airport gets about one flight a month as no electricity but it's kept open for one very important reason to take in federal tax dollars. the airstrip is co owned by the state tourism department which runs the park, the lodge, the golf course nearby. >> the tourism department has tried to close the airport for 6 years. >> it is a bit of an eye sore. something we would like to see go away. >> it is kept open to get the automatic annual payment from the faa if at all possible we went over 184,000 dollars back
6:12 pm
to uncle sam. that's part of the 750,000 dollar total that the tiny airport has taken into just in the past five years. unless tless than one percent o that 5,000 dollars has been spent on the airport itself. it was showed to be used for runway lighting and rehab. it is unclear how it was spent since there's no electricity this c there can be no runway lighting. >> what we have done with the money is the bare minimum. joining me now oklahoma senator tom coburn. welcome back and happy new year. >> happy new year to you, sean. great to be with you. >> it is pretty obvious here. every one of these examples -- i love the sidewalk to nowhere. mine pretty basic, isn't it? >> well, i think the thing that is disturbing we only listed hundreds i could have listed
6:13 pm
thousands. we have had hundreds of billions of dollars every year that is wasted on things that don't fit with common sense and prudence but we are spending money on. we are borrowing money we don't have to spend on things we don't need. >> we have sidewalks to nowhere we have bridges we are rebuilding that we certainly don't need. we have airports that nobody lands at. they are going to fix the lighting on an airport that doesn't have electricity. the question is i have been following you following this for years. citizens against government waste they have been chronicling this for years. the country has $16 trillion in debt and it never gets solved. why does it keep going on? >> a couple reasons. one is america keeps sending the same career politicians back to washington every year number one goal is to get re-elected not fix the government. number two, over sight is hard
6:14 pm
work. it means you have to actually change things. and you have to stand up and say you are not for spending more money you are for getting rid of the waste. there is not a themble full of common sense whether elected representatives or people administering the programs. >> how much would you estimate we are wasting a year on roj ekts like this? >> if i can describe it a different way. if you took waste, stupidity, duplication, in other words, multiple programs doing exactly the same thing, probably $250 billion a year. >> $250 billion a year we are taking from hard-working americans and we are throwing it down the sewer so politicians can say hey, i brought this money back to my district. now there's a lot of talk about
6:15 pm
greedy, selfish rich people. they need to pay their fair share. what do we say about greedy power hungry politicians that waste hard earned tax payer dollars.are they worse than the greedy rich people we often hear demonized? >> the problem is we are adept at not making transparent what we are doing. and so consequently what is actually going on is never revealed to the american public. i think what has to be -- let me give you another example. there's $800 billion worth of grants that come out of the federal government a year across all agencies everything, 800 billion. that's twice what it was 11 years ago. a lot of people want to spend the money was where does that glaunt goes. it goes back to the state. as soon as you start cutting back in a prudent way to do
6:16 pm
things that would make sense. >> do you know what the war on coal means? we are going to talk to coal miners themselves to find out. plus a world war ii hero who never stopped serving. with he will bring you the story of a truly great, great american as we continue. but thanks to hotwire, this year we got to take an extra trip. because they get us ridiculously low prices on really nice hotels and car rentals. so we hit boston in the spring-- even caught a game. and with the money we saved, we took a trip to san francisco. you see, hotwire checks the competitions' rates every day so they can guarantee their low prices. so, where to next? how about there? ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e... ♪ hotwire.com
6:17 pm
6:18 pm
6:19 pm
>> question bhaerd the war on coal. the strangle hold threaten to do wipe out a bedrock of american history and industry. many in coal countries say the
6:20 pm
problem is worse than ever. we went to the fairfield mine in ohio and traveled two-miles under ground to find out the impact first hand from the coal miners themselves. we have about 60 employees under ground two mines nearby. coal has been the life blood given us lick wit so we can have a lot of good jobs. obama wants us to have windmills and solar power and no coal, no carbon and no jobs is what it amounts to. we will not have any industry in the united states or in ohio if we have to have electricity generated from wind or solar and no coal. >> it is huge really. 80 percent of the power economic power sustained jobs to keep growth. >> this is what i know.
6:21 pm
it is important for me for some of the younger guys to start over. if i lose this i am not quite sure where i would go. >> i have been here for 19 years. i feel like we are being regulated out. i feel like the current administration is attacking the coal industry p and i haven't heard them deny it yet. i think it will cost a lot of jobs in the long run. electric bills will be a lot higher. >> last i heard is 50 percent of the power is used. if you take that away you see people that are upset about those things they do the same ones you will have crying at the end about the energist coulds going up. >> i think it's a war on economical energy and well paying jobs there are a lot of good people working here.
6:22 pm
it's personal to us not just a war on coal. >> do i take it personal? yeah, it rubs me the wrong way. it is something i do for a living. a lot of people say to me, they still do that? >> there are a lot of jobs in this area that rely on coal. i know a lot of mines that are shut down and being laid off. it is our livelihood puts the bread on the table. >> for one coal mining jobs there are 20 jobs outside to support it. for each under ground miner there are a lot of people that will be affected>> bill johnson represents a large portion of ohio's coal country. welcome to "hannity".
6:23 pm
>> good to see you again. >> this president has been the most anti fossil fuel president that i have ever seen but he wanted a gradual increase in gas prices. why didn't ohio especially southeast ohio, why didn't they -- they didn't come out in the numbers i would have expected. >> the people that live in eastern and southeastern ohio we know there's a war on coal. every where you went during the election you saw the stop the war on coal signs. they are paying higher energy costs to power their homes. thousands of families are now their husbands and wives are without jobs because of the layoffs that have occurred. i mean at some point you would think that common sense would kick in. the president talks about wanting to bring manufacturing jobs back to america, my goodness, how can you do that without being able to provide
6:24 pm
reliable portions. >> west virginia, ohio, pennsylvania, this resistance in some areas towards fracking. what does it mean for the future? does that mean we are going to pay higher prices? does that mean shortages? >> i think it's going to be a combination of those things. they are going to have a tough time replacing the energy on the energy grid when there's no coal firepower plants to do that with. you are going to see sky rocketing energy costs. i have a company, a manufacturing company down in southeastern ohio right now that manufacturing aluminum. they came so close to losing about a thousand jobs and having to determine nate all of their employees because of rising utility costs in their manufacturing process because it is a big power consumer, so you are going to see a combination of sky rocketing energy costs
6:25 pm
and energy shortages as well. >> congressman, good to see you. we will continue to monitor this on a regular basis. >> coming up next a story of a truly great american 70 years ago being shot down in world war ii captured the nazis he is still serveing this great country. we head out to wyoming for former vice president dick cheney and unbelievable group of wounded warriors a fishing trip that is very, very important. more than catching fish. we will show you coming up. rese. i have a cold, and i took nyquil, but i'm still "stubbed" up.

and fly fishing was a whole new thing for me. it was the first time wint and fell in love with it. i did fly fishing. last year made it a full-time position. >> i was part of the invasion force in iraq. i was injured in 2003. i had a left shoulder replacement in 2008. i have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress. i was on a cocktail of anti-depressants and pain meds for my shoulder. at one point i weighed 230 pounds i never fly fished before came to the program it was a life changer for me. i am no longer on any meds at all and i have lost a ton of weight. >> what differentiates rivers of recovery is the idea that we use the outdoors and outdoor activity that assess confidence and self empowerment. it's a perfect platform that
6:44 pm
bring in the techniques that help manage post traumatic stress and anxiety and depression. >> we have ptsd, we have amputees anything can happen when you are over there. >> i had hearing loss from an injury i have been diagnosed with ptsd and >> they have been working to recuperate from. that let me prove it to myself on my own gaining confidence. >> changed me for the better. make me be less stressed. >> coming back from tours in iraq and afghanistan, the things that happened out there it is on

6:47 pm
is giving these guys an outlet and to show them there's other things other than sitting around their room. >> building confidence with people again. it felt really good and mabelingimaking relationships and being yourself. >> at first i was looking at it negatively but now i can't wait>> i love being here. >> this is one of the great ways somebody sort of reenters society find something that is fascinating that they love to do once you are hooked on them. >> it really helps me work on something other than the poos where bad things happen. look for a bright future.
